The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department and Public Works, in coordination with the Buena Vista Neighborhood Association, invite you to participate in the final of three community meetings to advance the Buena Vista Park Capital Improvement Plan.

During this meeting, Department staff will follow up on selected priority projects (perimeter and environmental improvements) based on feedback and discussion from the second meeting held in March (click on this link to view the presentation and meeting notes). The basic intent of this process is to fund a series of small scale projects to create momentum for a bigger capital improvement plan effort. Please join us and offer your insight and feedback to help prioritize projects that will improve the aesthetics, safety and environmental integrity of the park for years to come!

Buena Vista Park is both a central and critical natural resource to San Francisco and its residents. As such the Recreation and Parks and Public Works Department are embarking on a planning effort to identify both long – short-term strategies to help sustain and improve the park. The final outcome will identify and prioritize several critical small short-term projects.

We would greatly appreciate your participation and feedback.

During the meeting, DPW and RPD presented potential park improvement projects that were developed based on priorities and feedback from the kick-off meeting. These projects included: Perimeter Apron Improvements, Primary Entry Improvements, Perimeter Pathway Lighting, Playground Improvements, Tree Management, Water Management and Soil Management. Participants were given the opportunity to select their top three projects as well as the chance to discuss how those choices reflected their vision for the park. The highest priority was given to perimeter, entry and lighting projects, followed by tree, water and soil management projects.

Thu, 26 Feb 2015 17:42:35 +0000http://sfrecpark.org/?p=83496Continue reading →]]>The initial meeting to solicit ideas for the Buena Vista Park Capital Improvement Plan kicked off at the Randall Museum on February 10th and was attended by an audience of nearly 40 engaged park neighbors. The Buena Vista Neighborhood Association provided an introduction to the meeting, while the Department of Public Works and Recreation and Park Department explained the Capital Improvement Plan process and goals, contextualized the park historically, and reviewed site assessments (see presentation on Buena Vista Park Capital Improvement Plan page). The assessment addressed a variety of topics, including forest health and tree groupings, park circulation and paths, erosion control and irrigation. It also identified three primary regions of the park: perimeter, woodland and ridge. The basic intent of this process is to fund a series of small scale projects to create momentum for a bigger capital improvement plan effort. To that end, the participants offered feedback and a host of ideas for projects, ranging from relocating the playground and installing better lighting on the park perimeter, to moving the existing dog play area and formalizing the circulation network. Common themes included public safety, attracting families to the park, improved accessibility and activating the park for positive uses.

The next meeting will be on March 24th at 6:30pm to discuss a refined menu of potential projects based on feedback from the first meeting. The meeting will be held at the Randall Museum in the Buckley Room.
